Fr iday, October 11, 1963—THE DETROIT JEWISH NEW S-1 4

Say Jordan Valley
ADL Specialists Report Attitude
Was Inhabited a
Change in Germany on Hitler Era Million Years Ago

Twelve civil rights specialists
of the Anti-Defamation League
of Bnai Brith returned from a
three-Week study tour of West
Germany to report that the
1959-60 "swastika epidemic" was
a "turning point in the attitude
of German educators" toward
the treatment of the Hitler pe-
riod and citizenship training in
the schools.
The preliminary report of the
group said that the youth of
those involved in the swastika
smearings—touched off by the
desecration of a synagogue in
Cologne on Christmas day, 1959
—jolted key government and
educational leaders into the
realization that previous efforts
to meet the problem had been
totally inadequate.
According to Benjamin R.
Epstein, national ADC director
who led the delegation, the des-
ecrations "broke the back of
resistance" among teachers and
"shattered their indifference to
the problem."
"There are now serious ef-
forts in classrooms of different
age groups and school systems
to deal with citizenship train-
ing, problems of prejudice and
the specifics of the Nazi past,"
Epstein said.
However, the report noted,
despite this shift, West German
mass media — radio, television,
newspapers and periodicals—are
still the principal sources of in-
formation about the history of
the Third Reich, not teachers
or parents.
The ADL team, which was in-
vited to West Germany by the
Bonn government to explore
how American experience in
combatting bigotry could be ap-
plied to the German scene, made
the following observations:

Democracy in Germany could be
strengthened by shifting more respon-
sibility for social action from the gov-
ernment to private voluntary organ-
izations similar to those operating in
the United States.

respect of other people was required
in early school teaching.
The efforts of the mass media need
to be intensified and more closely
linked to adult education programs.
"There remains an unreconstructed
attitude on the part of too many Ger-
mans toward the crimes of the Hitler
regime," they said. As evidence, they
cited the fact that trial courts have
meted out sentences to Nazi war
criminals which the Supreme Court
of the Federal Republic itself had
found too mild.

The League representatives
found a "startling alienation" of
the generation that is 35 years
old and younger from the gen-
eration that is past 50. Young
people seemed resentful of the
heritage left them by the Hitler
era, and in search of new
values.

Polish Ministry
to Organize Course
for Yiddish Teachers

LONDON, (JTA) — The
Polish Ministry of Education
plans to organize soon a course
for teachers of Yiddish and
Jewish history, it was reported
here from Warsaw.
The plan was the outcome of
a meeting betwen Ferdinand
Herok, Deputy Education Min-
ister, and a delegation of the
Jewish Cultural and Social
Association, head e d by Dr.
David Stard. A number of
problems of Jewish education
and Jewish cultural activities
in Poland were discussed dur-
ing the meeting.
The Education Ministry also
undertook to provide further
help for Jewish summer camps
where, in addition to vacation
programs, Jewish education
also is provided. The Ministry
also said it would include a
new b u i l d i n g for a Jewish
school in Wroclaw in a national
program of 1,000 new school
buildings now under way.

World Famous Opera
Star Rosa Raisa Dies

LOS ANGELES, (JTA) —
Bialystok-born Rosa Raisa, in
her day one of the world's lead-
ing opera stars, died here after
a long illness at the age of 70.
She had been living with a
daughter since her retirement
in 1937.
At the age of 14, Rosa Raisa
Burshteim emigrated to Naples
to escape a pogrom. Aided by
leading figures of Italian opera,
she made her debut at the Verdi
Centenary Festival in Parma in
1913 and her American debut
in the same year in Chicago.
She and her Italian husband
became naturalized American
citizens. She spoke and sang in
Yiddish, English, Russian, Ger-
man, French, Italian and Span-
ish. She sang the role of "Leah"
in the first American perform-
ance in Detroit in 1936 of
Rocca's _ opera, "The Dybbuk."
She was married to a Catholic,
the baritone Giacommo Rimini,
who died in 1952.
In addition to her daughter,
Mrs. Joseph Segala, she is sur-
vived by a sister, Mrs. Freida
Goldenberg of the Bronx. She
will be buried with Catholic
rites.

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Early
man came to the Jordan River
valley about a million years ago,
according to a study reported
here by the Israel Academy of
Science. The study was made
during a four-year series of ex-
peditions and researches by Prof.
Moshe Stekelis, head of the
department of pre-history at the
Hebrew University.
Comparing bones, stones and
tools found in pre-historic sites
in Israel with others discovered
in South Africa and Tanganyika,
Stekelis has reconstructed early
man's wanderings during the
Stone Age. He found that man
hid migrated along what the
scientists call the Great Rift
Valley from its southern sector
in Africa to the northern part
of the Jordan valley in today's
Israel. From that point, Pleis-
tocene Age man went to Asia
and to Europe. The data found
in Israel furnished the link be-
tween early man's start of his
migration in Africa and his later
dispersion to Europe and Asia.

Monument for Jewish
Victims of Nazism
Vandalized in Canada

TORONTO, (JTA)— A monu-
ment dedicated last week to
the memory of the Jewish vic-
tims of the Nazi holocaust was
vandalized, police reported.
The monument, a stone tablet
set up in the burial grounds on
Hamilton Mountain, 40 miles
from Toronto, was dedicated by
members of the Ohev Congre-
gation, most of whom are im-
migrants from Europe. Vandals
poured a bucket of paint on the
monument and tried to set it
afire. They succeeded in sear-
ing the stone.
The Association of Lithuan-
ian Jews meanwhile dedicated
a monument in the association's
burial grounds in Toronto to
the memory of the Jews of
Lithuania who were slaugh-
tered during the Nazi occupa-
tion. Speakers at the cere-
mony included Rabbi I. Hur-
witz; Julius Heyman for the
Zionist Organization of Can-
ada; B. G. Kayfetz for the
Canadian Jewish Congress;
John J. Glass of the Federa-
tion of Polish Jews; and Am-
mon Ajzensztadt of the Sheer-
ith Hapleitah (The Surviving
Remnant).

Study Shows Jews Make Good Jurors

PITTSBURGH, (JTA)—A pi-
lot study of the attitudes of
jurors has shown that Jews are
generally good jurors because
of their compassion and sym-
pathy, the Jewish Chronicle
here reported.

Jews, however, do show bias in
favor of persons with a higher
education, he reported.

The survey is the result of
18 months' study, and will go
into the subject of bias among
jurors in greater detail, the at-
torney said.

The study was made by Ar-
thur Gatz, Jr., an attorney of
this city, to aid trial lawyers
who need the information when
engaged in helping to pick
juries. Gatz- said that, unlike
other groups, Jews have no bias
against persons who are wealthy.
